#me

I'm just not going to tour. One point I want to get across to everybody is that I'm still going to make records and I may still do some events. It's not the last time I'm onstage. It's been a part of my life for too long to quit everything. I have done it since the '80s, and I think it's time now to maybe see if I can live without that part. ↗

If it's a good song and it fits me, that's what I'm going to do, I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can. ↗

My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also. ↗

Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time. ↗

You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em. ↗

You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever... I'm not worried about it. ↗

For some of us, the less said about the way we do things the better. ↗

But I tend to think of the expressive part of me as rather tedious - never curious or responsive, but blind and self-serving. ↗

I certainly can't speak for all cultures or all societies, but it's clear that in America, poetry serves a very marginal purpose. It's not part of the cultural mainstream. ↗

I tend to like poems that engage me - that is to say, which do not bore me. ↗
